Kindergarten children dropped seeds in the crack of the sidewalk to see what would happen 💕 More photos: https://streetartutopia.com/2025/05/16/kindergarten-children-dropped-seeds-in-the-crack-of-the-sidewalk-to-see-what-would-happen/

I'll certainly miss having a space on the internet to ask questions and receive help

Dear Author! We always had that. It was IRC, it was mailing lists, it was forums, it was the Fediverse. Still are, really.

You know what's common between all of those? None are centralized silos run by for-profit corporations. Maybe there's something to learn from that.

I'm sure we'll see spaces where developers hang out and help each other continue to be popular – whether they are in the form of Discord servers, WhatsApp or Telegram groups, or something else.

...or maybe some won't. Too bad.

no it doesn't

made a basic web interface to debug my lexer

Those who would repeat the past must control the teaching of history.

As someone who conversion practices were attempted on, I urge you to sign this petition and get in to the finish line.

I was lucky enough to notice early ok what that “therapist” was trying to do and get out of there. These practices are cruel and dehumanizing.

Free texture websites for 3D artists. I replaced a link with a new one: **OnlyGFX**. I believe cc0-textures' security was compromised, not sure, but playing it safe for now.

omg this is awesome!
There's a spot in town marked in Google Maps as "Turtle Log".
It is what it says, just a cool log where turtles hang out, but since it's tagged as a place I can ask the satnav for directions to "turtle log" and it'll work.

@joepie91 Om nog maar niet te spreken dat bedrijven miljoenen over de balk smijten om de meningen en het koopgedrag van de bevolking te beïnvloeden door middel van reclames 😬

Boosting this again for a final push:

Most petitions don't have much impact, but if this European Citizens Initiative on banning conversion therapy reaches 1 million signatures by Saturday it will mean that it will be discussed at the European Parliament.

200,000 people have signed in the last 24 hours and it only needs 190,000 to reach the target.

Please sign and share. https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/

the other thing i will never get tired of is seeing cis straight boy streamers getting extremely confused about kiri's gender because she's soft butch

will never get tired of hearing streamers playing kitsune tails say "this plays exactly like a mario game"

getting the physics right was gruelling so it'll never stop feeling nice to hear we stuck the landing

PSA: you're allowed to play and enjoy games on the easiest settings. This is your free time and you're not less of a gamer for playing games the way they are the most enjoyable for you.

Brought to you by me who has gotten back into Raft on the "peaceful" setting. I don't want to fight sharks, I just want to fish for resources and build. 🤷‍♀️ So that's what I'm doing.

The EU and honestly any other group of nations can fix the American IT hegemony problem, they can fund universally available FOSS tools that run as cloud services or locally for smaller orgs/businesses. It would not be that expensive, the work force to do it is global and very enthusiastic. Hosting is basically the same (though if you hosting was free your data was never yours) and many tools, already exist. We run infra on Next Cloud, and most of it works great (the email client is meh)

Octopus Energy posted me a 321 A4 page electricity bill printed out on paper as a physical 5cm thick package (on their "Agile tariff" the rate changes every half hour, so there are 48 line items per day). I enquired as to why they'd done that?
Apparently they tried to email it first, but the 15 MB email exceeded my email server's size limit, so they posted a hard copy instead.
